SB 734 Missouri Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to military affairs

This bill modifies Missouri laws to support military service members and veterans through several key changes. It exempts National Guard members from being required to receive COVID-19 vaccinations as a condition of state duty and establishes a process for state agencies to identify and connect veterans with available benefits. The legislation also creates a new program to award a specific medallion and certificate to veterans who served honorably during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Additionally, it expands tax deductions for active-duty military income and requires the state to review and improve programs aimed at preventing veteran suicide.
